Comprehensive Series Bibliography: Foundations of Technology Adoption

Executive Summary

This bibliography serves as the definitive, exhaustive scholarly record for the “Technology Adoption Models” series. It consolidates every intellectual foundation identified in the project’s research database, bifurcated into the Individual User’s Journey (Branch 1) and the Organization’s Playbook (Branch 2).

For doctoral-level researchers, this document provides the complete longitudinal record of theory evolution, ensuring no seminal work from the source RIS datasets is omitted. For executive leadership, it establishes a high-fidelity audit trail for every framework and standard referenced in the strategic roadmap. Every entry is meticulously synchronized with the project’s Zotero database, utilizing the exact persistent identifiers (URLs) and specific access dates (Y2 metadata) provided in the source files.

How to Use This Bibliography
